I treated myself to a new rifle as a Christmas present to myself this year. This is a budget build so the hardcore benchresters/snipers/varminters will likely be unimpressed. The goal was to have a rifle capable of 1,000 yards for under $1,500. After lots of googling and reading reviews and what not this is what i came up with
Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .308 26" varmint contour barrel (same barreled action as the 700P)
Choate Ultimate Varmint Stock with aluminum bedding block
Millett LRS-1 6-25x56mm with illuminated mil-dot/bar reticle, side focus, target turrets and .1 mil click adjustments, and knobs resettable to zero
Burris XTR two peice picatinny bases
TPS steel 35mm rings
Harris bipod 9-13 inch with notched legs.
so here's the pics:
i had to break out the rat tail file and relieve the bottom part of the grip so my fat mits could fit in there:
my little helper in the background
this should be a great starter package for my intro to long range shooting and the rem 700 action is a great base for a custom rifle later on. this is all common stuff that i got at the local gun shop and from Midway, combatstocks.com etc. nothing custom or special order. i don't think Blade-Tech makes a drop leg holser for this model.
range day is the 17th. can't wait 'til then!
